Larry was the smartest, funniest, critical thinker that I have ever known. Knowing and working with him was a joy. He was one=of=a=kind, and the world is a less colorful place because of his passing. My sincere condolences to Donna and the rest of Larry's family.

Larry was a good friend and made work fun! He was one of the smartest guys I have ever met. We had some memorable trips to Missoula, Montana and at sales meetings. One of my favorite memories of Larry is doing some training for the Walker Survey folks in Indianapolis. On the ride back, we had the sun roof open on the blue Lincoln Continental, singing along with Rolling Stones tunes blasting! That car was the first time Larry owned a car made in the same decade he bought it! Of course, the Stones concert at Soldier Field with Donna and Beth (our girl friends and spouses!) was a lifetime highlight.
You left us too soon, Twooms, but rest in peace!

Larry had a zest for life, was a very bright and independent thinker, passionate about his beliefs, and added a great deal of fun to the lives of his friends and colleagues. I am so happy that he got to enjoy many years of retirement.
He will be missed by all of us whose lives he touched. My deepest sympathies to Donna.

Larry was the smartest and most creative contract negotiator that I have ever known. I had the office next to him for the last 5 yrs of our Nalco careers, and many times I was blessed by his insight and good humor. He made other people look smart! We will miss Larry! We wish his family well and our prayers will be with them.

Larry was one of the brightest profesionals that I ever worked with. He taught me many things about business and more importantly how to enjoy life and have fun. Many great memories with Larry when I lived in Upsate New York and then a newbie in Nalco marketing. He will be sadly missed.

I will never forget this 'wild and crazy guy'. Time with Donna and Larry was always an adventure full of smiles. It is good to remember that Larry knew how to get the most out of every day in his too-short life!

Larry and I spent many years working together at Nalco and through those years we had many laughs. He was always there for support and advice and always with a big smile. A wonderful guy who enjoyed life and his family. I will miss him but those great memories will always be there.
